# 10 Mick to me.........I can remember those days, the Markets everywhere had dozens of stalls, just look around you now, there are hardly any........Blame the Internet and the TV for telling folk that meat is bad for you, rubbish, if people had been around in the war years, they would have been glad to get a bit of scrag end, meat was a luxury, protein is what we all need.............My hubby and his dad ran a Butcher's shop for years in Cinderhill, the people used to queue down the road waiting to be served and they had a large delivery round as well back in the 40's -80's............We still eat lots of meat and are very healthy in our 70s.......

Taken through the glass on the front door this morning. Not your usual cold callers; and probably not Jehovah's Witnesses either.

Hi Basfordred, don't get me started on the halcyon days of the 60s because they were the best times, and was privileged to be part of them !!!?

'Richards' sold quality clothes at quality prices. I remember I had a grey costume - matching skirt and jacket - from here and kept it as my best; always looked good with black, suede, winkle picker stilletos.My first costume from 'C&A Modes' was cut from black and white tweed material with black, mock leather decorating the collar of the jacket. Adored wearing this suit, lasted me for ages, up 'til today even - although I now see it in my mind's eye!
'Chelsea Girl' when it landed during the 70's, was like a breathe of fresh air on the high street: lots and lots of up-to-date fashions to choose from at incredibly reasonable prices.
My late friend Jane worked in Chelsea girl when if it first opened in 1969..........I shopped all over the place and bought the latest fashions, I have always loved dressing up in the latest gear....at 70 years old now, I still dress up......

I knew Paul Smith too......he was a regukar gent back then, is he still around ?......

#71 - Angie - I can remember shopping at those shops too, they had some class gear back then......
-
I shopped there in the late 1960/70's when I was flush........Once went out with a guy called Aden, he took me to a dinner dance at Tollerton Aerodrome and bought me a posh, slinky black frock from the birdcage........ He lived in a mock tudor house out there...........Wonder what happened to him ?......

When my wife worked in ladieswear at Jessops, apparently they had a refrigerated facility where ladies could store their fur coats during the warmer months.
My mother in law was posh and she stored her mink coat there in the summer back then............I could only ever afford coney....
-
It was a fur shop, as I said I bought a lovelly coney coat from there, they were all the vogue back then, if you owned one you were class.....
There used to a butcher's shop called Vans too.....don't remember van shoes though......
-
It was called Van Allen.........I had a lovelly Coney Coat from there in the early 70's - felt like a million dollars walking don the road in it.....
I once worked at the bottom of Derby Road, over Clement's pianos.........a Solicitors called Healey and Smith........

Someone (a foreign sounding guy) wanted 20 minutes of my time to ask questions about my domestic appliances........I just told them I couldn't talk to them as I was in the middle of shagging the window cleaner, very naughty thing to say, I know, but it worked, he rang off and has never phoned since............
